Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. The Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein continued yesterday
as the committee to pose Darren Endyke, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer,
and of course, Darren Endyke said he had no idea
about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and that he never saw anything
that would even come close to what Jeffrey Epstein was
accused of. Oh, in those withdrawals that he made when
he was structuring and avoiding Title thirty one, well that's
because he had trouble getting a credit card. Meanwhile, the
withdrawals were coming from Epstein's account, and if Endyke was
having trouble getting a credit card, he could have easily
just got one of Epstein's. He was conducting Epstein's business,
not his own. And I don't need the transcript to
tell you that. If that's what he said, he perjured himself.
And considering who we're talking about here, my guess is
it wasn't the only time that he was playing loose
with the truth. If Darren Endyke tells the truth, he
is going to implicate himself, and obviously that's the last
thing he wants to do. So let's dive into this
article from CNN and let's see what they have to
say about the deposition of Darren Endyke headlined, longtime Epstein
attorney says he didn't know of the financiers sexual abuse.
This article was authored by m Steck and Annie Grayer.
Jeffrey Epstein's longtime employee and attorney, Darren Endyke, testified to
lawmakers on Thursday that he had no knowledge whatsoever of
the convicted sex offender is wrongdoing and rejected any suggestion
he assisted or facilitated his former boss's crimes. According to
a copy of his opening statement, well that settles it.
Darren Endyke told you he had nothing to do with it,
so we should just move on right. Finds somebody else
to talk to. It's not me, babe, It's not me.
Had I known that he was abusing or trafficking women,
I would have quit working for him at once and
severed all ties to him and Dyke said in an
opening statement to the House Oversight Committee, a copy of
which CNN obtained, the truth is that I did not
know what mister Epstein did. After hours behind closed doors
and in places where I was not present. You sure
signed a lot of paperwork, vote didn't you? How many
lawsuits did you settle, how much hush money did you pay,
how many sham marriages did you set up? How much
immigration fraud was involved? And if Darren Endyke says none,
then I'm going to say, in my opinion, he's lying,
and I don't just pull that out of my hat.
I think we have reams of evidence that point to
Darren Endyke being a major cog in the Epstein machine.
And if Epstein would been charged with RICO like he
should have been in Dyke, would have been charged as well.
In Dyke, one of Epstein's longest serving employees, worked as
an attorney forum for more than twenty years on corporate,
transactional and general legal services. He described his work as
a consulting role for an entirely legitimate purpose. The closed
door deposition lasted for roughly eight hours. An entirely legitimate purpose, huh.
I'm pretty sure that all the people that were wronged
wouldn't feel the same way, whether it's financially, whether it's physically,
or anything in between. A highly doubt legitimate is involved.
Democrats said they believe that in Dyke is not credible
for saying he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes, and
said in Dyke may have perjured himself in his deposition. Well,
I haven't seen the transcript, so I'll take the same
stance I always do until we look at that. But
I have no doubt that in Dyke was telling stories.
He has to. If not, he's going to incriminate himself. Right,
So Endyke is in a spot. Now. Do I think
he's ever going to be charged with perjury or lying
to Congress? Hell? No, they don't have the guts. And
remember this whole entire procedure is nothing more than procedur rule.
If you think that James Comer and his band of
merry men are going to do anything as far as
real oversight here or really hold anyone accountable, you have
not been paying attention. If it wasn't for the discharge petition,
forget it. Democratic representative Dave min, a lawyer and former
law professor, said of the deposition, It's just not credible
to claim that you had no knowledge of what was happening.
I'm very surprised that he did not take the Fifth Amendment.
I think it's very likely that he perjured himself over
and over and over again, the congressman said. And look,
I wasn't in the room, right, So I'm not going
to sit here and tell you that Dave Men's telling
the truth. I don't know. But one thing I definitely
do know after all these years, is that Darren Endyke
is not exactly what I would call a truthful person.
So if Dave min is saying that he perjured himself,
he probably did. And if I was a betting man
and you were laying odds, I would take the bet
that he perjured himself. Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett said, I
can tell you that he has been quite defensive of
Jeffrey Epstein, almost as if he still doesn't believe Jeffrey
Epstein to be who Jeffrey Epstein was. Well, that's because
fellow travelers in all right, a lot of these people
that come out and say, oh, well, I'm abhorred by
what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, we're actually in on it.
They were there, they were around, they knew, they heard,
they didn't care. Why should they some vulnerable girl from
West Palm beach. What does that matter to them? Hey, Jeffrey,
you got that five hundred thousand. For me, That's what matters.
Not poor people, not vulnerable girls, not you or me.
More money, more power, more, more, more and more and
more and more. It's always more, and inevitably that more
comes from you. Lawmakers are seeking answers on Indyke's work
and his knowledge of Epstein's financial dealings. The testimony occurred
behind closed doors, though lawmakers are expected to release a
video later. Well, I want the transcript. What's up with
the videos? Let's get the transcripts. Videos are great, but
the transcripts are important too. So hopefully we get the
actual written portion of this, the transcript so that we
can dive into it. In his opening statement in Dyke
pushed back on allegations that he withdrew thousands of dollars
in cash on Epstein's behalf to avoid triggering banks'sions. He
said the cash was not used for any improper purposes. Bro,
you were structuring. Stop the nonsense. We talked about this
years ago. All of a sudden you weren't structuring. I
mean that might work on somebody else, but not me.
I used to manage a sportsbook in Las Vegas. I
know all about title thirty one, and if any of
my players were trying to do what Darren Dyke did,
they'd be hit with the sar so quick that it
would make your head spin. Police investigators found that Epstein
often paid young girls and women between two hundred and
three hundred dollars that the woman said came after he
abused them under the guise of performing massages. In the
mid two thousands. Men said he asked Indyke about a
seven hundred and twenty five thousand dollars cash withdrawal he made,
using a maximum of seventy five hundred per withdrawal to
not trigger federal reporting, and said that Indyke couldn't describe
what that was for. Well, Epstein said it was for
gas for the plane. Remember, oh, this is for fuel.
And of course the bank was happy to help him out.
But now Indyke has no idea, he has no clue
what's going on. I guess it's just another case of
Epstein amnesia. In his opening statement, Indyke also categorically denied
that he helped course young women into same sex sham
marriages with each other to circumvent Immigration, calling it one
hundred percent untrue. Well, I think he's lying, and I
think the evidence backs it up. And all it's going
to take is one of these girls to come forward
and say, yeah, this happened, and Endyke is cooked, and
I have a sneaking suspicion that's going to happen. These
allegations were made in a twenty twenty four class action
civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victims against Endyke and his
fellow co executor of Epstein's estate, Richard Kahn. The suit
alleged that the two were facilitators in Epstein's sex trafficking
operation and were also integral and allowing Epstein to escape
justice for years by concealing his litany of crimes. The
pair strongly denied the allegations. Recently, the estate agreed to
settle the lawsuit for up to thirty five million, but
admitted no wrongdoing. The court preliminarily approved the settlement earlier
this month. It's always accept the suit, but with no wrongdoing. Right.
Hell of a system we have set up here in
America when you can buy your way out of allegations
like these. Addressing the committee, Endyke also said that after
Epstein was convicted in two thousand and eight on state
charges for soliciting prostitution from a minor, his former boss
appeared devastated and extremely Contrite. Yeah, devastated and Contrite got caught. Well,
you think he had remorse for what he did? We
all know the answer to that. Listen to him explain
it himself. Oh, it's like stealing a bagel. What you
abuse literally thousands of people? You sick, degenerate? Fuck? What
do you mean? It's like stealing a bagel. He was
adamant that he had no idea that anyone involved was
under age, and personally assured me he would never again
let himself be in that position. I believed him, and
I made the mistake of believing mister Epstein that he
would not again commit a crime. I deeply regret doing so.
Most importantly, I feel horrible for those women whom mister
Epstein abused, said Dyke, does he mean the women whose
abuse he facilitated? Is that what he means? Because from
where I'm sitting here in the peanut Gallery, I think
that the evidence certainly points in that direction. House Oversight
Chair James Comer said that Republicans asked Indyke why he
continued to work with Epstein after he was convicted in
two thousand and eight. Well, maybe someone should ask Comer
why he didn't show up to talk to les Wexner.
That might have been an important deposition. No, but they're
done with les Wexner. They have nothing left to ask him.
He said that Epstein told him it was a mistake,
it was a one time deal. He didn't know the
girl was under age, the one that he got convicted
of in West Palm Beach, and Dan Dyke said he
convinced him that he would never do it again and
said that he had remorse, So that was about it.
Comer said, Wow, imagine sitting on that committee and listening
to that nonsense. I would be seething. Democrats also said
that Endyke could not give a straight answer about whether
an accuser of President Donald Trump was given a settlement,
which was an issue that came up during the panel's
deposition last week with Epstein's accountant Richard Kahn. It's very
concerning that the story around Jane do four as it
relates to the executors of the estate, has now changed
four or five times. Whether there was ever a settlement,
So until we get an answer on that question, we
will not be satisfied. Democratic Representative Robert Garcia said, well,
I can agree with that, like we need to know
the deal was a settlement paid out or wasn't it.
It shouldn't be this big of a deal to find out.
Democratic Representative Melanie Stansbury said that she believes that there
are two separate women who have made allegations against Trump
because in the deposition on Thursday, Dyke would not confirm
if the woman who filed the lawsuit and restraining order
against Trump that appeared in the Epstein estate files was
a separate individual from Jane do Four, who appears in
the Department of Justice Epstein files. I asked today if
these were two different individuals, and he cannot confirm. I
believe that these are two different allegations involving two different miners.
Stansbury said Trump has consistently the wrongdoing in connection with Epstein,
and the name appearing in the Epstein case files is
not evidence of wrongdoing. Well, that's true, but when you're
mentioned what thirty eight thousand times or something, people are
going to have some questions. And then of course you
have this war that just happens to kick off coincidentally
in the middle of all of this, people are going
to have some questions. In his opening statement in Dyke
pointed to his work as co executor of Epstein's estate,
which is cooperated with the committee's requests for evidence and
material as if they had any choice, I mean, come on.
The estate also established a restitution program for Epstein victims
called the Epstein Victim Compensation Program, which doled out one
hundred and twenty one million to one hundred and thirty
six women. The estate has also settled multiple civil lawsuits
filed by victims and agreed to pay forty eight million
to an additional fifty nine women. And that compensation fund
didn't even pay out the amount of money to all
those women, one hundred and thirty six of them, as
they did to the USVII. But go ahead and tell
me how this is all a cash grab. Less than
a million dollars each is what these women got. When
you look at the aggregate total, All of that for
a lifetime of pain sounds like a great deal. Huh.
Garcia said that there are two areas of the committee
subpoena to the Epstein Estate, which in Dyke helps oversee,
that have not been provided to the committee. The missing
documents include court records in the case between Virginia Roberts
and Glen Maxwell, as well as various documents related to businesses, firms,
and organizations that had communications with Epstein. Garcia claimed that
the estate has asked oversight Republicans for clarity on which
documents they need, but Republicans are stalling. Of course they are,
That's the whole entire trick. Comer defended the Epstein's Estate
compliance with his subpoena and said the reason they haven't
pushed to get the remaining documents is because they overlap
with other subpoenas the Committee is issued and is receiving documents.
Four Oh, this guy is just too much. This guy
has way too much to deal with. James Comer, You're
gonna go down as one of the biggest clowns maybe
in history, when all is said and done and this
story is written. You're gonna go down as a big
time clown, my friend. And don't think this is over
for you, because that boomerang is gonna come back around
at some point. My hope is that James comer is
on the other end of one of these depositions about
his behavior during his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Because enough
is enough, and at this point, my question is who's
watching the watchers. In February, Tim Parlatour, who previously work
with Indyke and is a former attorney for President Donald Trump,
told CNN Randy Kay that Indyke worked on the legitimate
side of Epstein's business. Oh, of course, of course he did.
Another Trump friend. Are you guys catching on yet? A
lawyer for Indyke told CNN in a statement at the time,
not a single woman has ever accused mister Dyke or
mister Kahan of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse,
nor claimed at any time that you reported to them
any allegation of mister Epstein's abuse. Notice, they don't talk
about enabling. Notice they don't talk about being co conspirators
or committing financial crimes, because that's what they did. Nobody
ever said Indike and Khan were abusing girls, or they
were sitting around in the corner in the cuckchair watching.
Nobody ever said that. Notice how they don't ask about
any of the serious issues. They don't really dive in
and dig deep, and then you have comer coming out
and defending it. The lawyer added that both men have
denied they knowingly facilitated or assisted mister Epstein in his
sexual abuse or trafficking of women, or that they were
aware of mister Epstein's actions knowingly facilitated. I mean they
might have, but they didn't know. Could have been on
the slide. Ah. You know what, maybe I did facilitate them,
now that I think about it. Folks, these people think
you're stupid and they think this sham of a committee
is going to help them help you move on. But
the more they want us to move on, the more
we dig in. And that's exactly what I plan on
doing here on the podcast. So like usual, we'll keep
an eye on things, and when we get a transcript
to add to the catalog, we most certainly will do that.
Until then, that's going to do it for this one.
